What Can You Do in 50 Minutes?

50 Minutes

What can you do in 50 minutes?

Exercise

Quilt

Talk with a Friend

Attend a Therapy Session

Buy a poster?

Speaking of buying a poster, check out 50 minutes at www.unconsciousoncanvas.com

because I just hung this poster up in my office at home and

I love it!

It's really pretty.

What shocks me about this painting?
After I hung it up
After I fell in love with it
After I said I loved how it looks like me and a friend quilting,
I find out Darlene Graeser said it had nothing to do with quilting

Really?

I clearly see me and my friend working on a quilt.

Darlene says it depicts a therapy session.

OK then - maybe quilting is therapeutic for me.

What does this look like to you?

Comment!

Or go buy the poster at

Good Dog

She Was a Good Dog

On Friday, 

our dog Samantha passed away

It was traumatic and hard for me and the kids.

This was our first pet ever.

She was kind of stupid, in the fact that in all the years we knew her, she just never got the hang of how a door works.

We would open it and she would inevitably get caught between the wall and the door, 

not really finding the opening until we picked her up and showed her.

But we loved her.

She slept a lot, and didn't like for us to bother her by petting her.

We often referred to her as our "cat".

But we loved her.

So, send a card to your dog-loving friend

Send a card to your dog

Enjoy your pets while they are still here

Although we are sure Samantha is happy in doggy heaven

That is, if she can figure out how the door to heaven works!

Toodles,

Binky

Time for Some Controversy!

Shock Blog Time

I want to hear your opinion about this subject

Should gay people be allowed to marry?

Yes, I know, this is all over the news

Conservatives, liberals, everyone has an opinion

And the opinion is extremely strong.

Everyone I know is adamant that their view is right.

 

Visit www.unconsciousoncanvas.com and see our 

Deal of the Day!

What do I think?

Ask me and I will tell you

as I also have a very strong opinion

Let's see if you can guess based on the following information:

I'm an observant religious traditional Jewish person

I am very liberal in my general social, political and fiscal policies

 I am extremely conservative in my own social, political, and fiscal policies

So - do I think the government should stay out of the bedroom?

or

do I think that we, as a society, have a responsibility to promote certain ethical values?

And WHY do I believe the way I do?

Comment on this blog and ask me -  - just so I know you're reading this blog!

Turn Up the Heat!

It's Hot!

Take the Plunge!

Find this one-of-a-kind pillow on sale now at www.unconsciousoncanvas.com

 On Thursday night we all went into our backyard spa.

My how our muscles felt glorious! We were surrounded by gravity-defying muscle-relaxing water!

100 degrees of pure paradise!

Fast forward to yesterday afternoon.  

The sun was shining.

My daughter, her friend and I, decided to go for a cooling dip in the pool.

And....

You know what it is like to start to drink a cup of orange juice,

 and it turns out to be hot chocolate instead?

You know that you like orange juice,

and you like hot chocolate, 

but when you're expecting one cool delicious flavor and you get the other warm flavor instead,

you tend to gag on the warm flavor...

That is what it was like.

I accidentally heated my pool to 100-degrees after shutting of the spa on Thursday

It was a not a cool dip in the pool.

It was a hot, steamy mess!

And not in a good way!

 

So, in honor of that experience,

I'm putting the Till Death Do Us Part

Original Art Pillow on sale for the next couple of days

Until my pool cools down

Take the Plunge

Visit UnconsciousOnCanvas.com Today!

You'll be glad you did

And tell me whether or not it tastes like orange juice or hot chocolate!

Who Shot the Cherubs?

My Little Cherubs

It's Summer Time

Kids are officially

OUT OF SCHOOL!

Do you still think of them as Cherubs?

Do you recognize the expression on these kids' faces?

I've recently hung this poster up in my kids' bathroom - 

it just fits their lovely faces in the morning

It's almost like they are looking in a mirror!

My son was already to go to grandma's house late Saturday night

He left the light on in his room

So I went to shut it off

And discovered.....

pajamas on the floor, a bed unmade, Lego Mindstorm pieces have a fabulous party on the floor, a pair of shoes and a series of unrelated books clearly having recently joined the Lego pieces floor party, a backpack stocked with school supply leftovers overflowing with excitement spilling their contents in an attempt to join the Legos, and a lovely piece of string cheese fully fermented and conducting a science experiment of its own.

Yes, he was ready to go to grandma's house!

My little cherub

And let me know what lovely things your cherubs are up to this summer.

Smoking....

Pearly

and

What She Did Not Expect!

 

 

These paintings are the same

Darlene just turned one upside down and changed the colors and the name

Check out her paintings at www.darlenegraeser.com

I love that

Seeing the same thing from a different perspective

 

What I don't like is that she is smoking

I abhor smoking

I don't like the smell, what it does to a person, and how it infringes on my freedom to breath clean air, increases the cost of medical care, and increases the rates of all kinds of cancer, etc., etc., etc.

 

and I am so sick of the anti-Prop 29 commercials

 

If you don't smoke, you don't pay the tax

 

I don't care if the proposition is flawed - I don't care if Californians don't keep the money, in fact, I don't care if you throw all the money it raises into a giant shredder - 

I think people who smoke should have huge incentives to quit, and one of those should be that it costs them more to smoke. Because if they are not going to pay with money, they sure are going to pay with their health

Can I look at that upside down from another perspective

Nope!

My grandmother smoked for 54 years and died from the sequelae of emphysema

My cousin is 28 and smokes and I wish he would stop

I spent over 10 years working on gene therapy for lung cancer patients 

(some of whom never smoked, but over 90% of them did), 

and I know the slow, painful, suffocating death that awaits them...

It's gross!

Comment with another perspective or agree with me - I welcome this debate

BRING IT ON!

And in the meantime, I'll put 

Now, What Did You Expect 

on sale today

Go check it out!

WRITING IN A VACUUM

Am I Writing in a Vacuum?

This question brings several images to my mind

I could literally be a dust mite writing this post from the inside of a vacuum bag, 

or, for those Dyson lovers, the inside of a bagless vacuum

or for the truly imaginative, 

I could be writing from the inside of some giant's vacuum cleaner,

begging for someone to let me out - heeeeeeelp!

 

For my astrophysicist friends (yes, I do have some!),

I could be writing in outer space, a literal airless vacuum

or, more obviously, metaphorically speaking,

I am writing with very little feedback from my audience

I can tell from my stat page that my blog is being viewed by quite a few people, 

curiously many are from Russia and Malaysia

Seriously!

So, given I don't speak any more Russian than three key phrases

yes

no

I love strawberries

Welcome to my blog.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy the nonsense.

And while you're at it - comment on the products available at 

www.unconsciousoncanvas.com

Tell me your favorite - I'll put it on sale!

You don't have to buy it - I promise

Binky
